I was wondering if anyone could tell me how much oil is needed for a oil change inlcuding the oil filter?? I searched in my owners manual and my chiltons and it doesn't mention the capacity anywhere, just oil weights.. The car is a inline 250 6 cylinder in a 74 Chevy Nova... I was thinking 5 quarts but didn't wanna overfill it.

damn I added five.. I hope I didn't overfill it.. It looks good on the dipstick but they aren't fail proof where'd you come up with 4 quarts? Is that what it took to fill yours? or is it documented somewhere?
